Many people think that the more expansive the health care product it is, the better the product is, but it is not the right way to judge it. It needs to depend on the individual need, many of this product does not have better effect as compare to consuming the raw food, a good example is just like consuming milk to recover calcium in body has better effect than taking calcium supplement. At some extend, the supplement is not suitable for pregnant women at all.

A pregnant woman needs complete nutrition, it is not able to cover all by just taking supplements. Since these supplements are usually working independently. The best way is having 3 meals per day with all balance diet from vegetables, meats and fruits.

Some pregnant woman have the perception that only by eating a lot in order to cover what is needed by the baby. Most of the time it is not absorb by the baby but rather than just becoming another piece of fat in our body.

A lot of us thinks that eating more vegetables is better than consuming more rice, but it is not true to pregnant woman, since rice is the main energy ingredient from our daily dish. A pregnant woman needs about 400-500 grams of rice or noodles to get to the energy level she needs.

Wrong Perception #5: Drinking more bone based soup can recover the calcium needed.

Some old folks usually recommend pregnant woman to drink more bone based soup that made by pork ribs, chicken frame, port leg, and others. But the actual case is, the bone is rich in calcium but the calcium is not easy to dissolve into the soup and more over it is not easily to be absorbed by our stomach. Even worst if over consume this type of soup will actually gain fat into the body that will cause the pregnant woman not comfortable.
